That’s not what I was going for, as I didn’t know that was possible. Is that a new feature? Anyway, I’ll turn that on for now and see how it goes. Some nice advantages over forcing everybody to sign up for an account.

Yes, that is a new feature. It will still create a new user, but creates the user at the same time as the listing, and the user will only have basic details.

OK, I like it. I now see that it actually IS creating an account, it just doesn’t feel like it to them. And without the email address checking process.

Except for this serious security problem…
I’ve got it set for new listing default status to be “pending review.”

But I just entered info for an event using a random name and totally not real email address.

And it published the event straight away! Can’t have that, obviously.
Anybody could publish ANYTHING to my site with zero security.

Check each of your CPT Settings. Each one has an option for the status of paid listings in the Packages tab, and that setting will override the default setting.

Thanks, Alex, that did the trick.

P.S. That’s bruuuuutal, dude! To have a buried “setting within a setting” override a master setting to default to letting unknown unsecured users publish anything to your site is a really bad idea. Since most people won’t know about that, the default should be to respect the master setting and you can override that to publish immediately or whatever else if you want. IMHO. : )

The default for new packages is the master default.
